After two long touchdowns, the Warriors protected a 20-0 lead from 3:55 left in the second quarter until 7:46 remaining in the game when Sciascia scored from the 12.
The Warriors scored 13 points in a span of 3:14 midway through the second quarter.
C.J. Ross rolled left and threw back across the field to Tim Kizis on a tight end screen that went 41 yards for a touchdown.
Paulie Weinrich ran up the middle with 3:55 left in the half, cut slightly to the right and took off on an 87-yard sprint for a touchdown.
